806 Question
What is about the 806 that makes me want to buy every one I see for sale that is even remotely reasonably priced?! (JRaysp sale-inspired question).

It's not just you.
The 806 has mystical elements of unknown origins, some say it dates back to the ancient lost continent of Atlantis, some say it has connections to the ancient and holy city of Jerusalem during the time when the Ark Of The Covenant disapeard, some even place it's origins to Mount Sinai when Moses was given the Ten Commandments and some say it has something to do with ancient human sacrifice rituals at Stonehenge, your guess is as good as anybody else.
Nobody knows this but when the Da Vinci code was actually broken it spelled out

The AFCK defined the tactical folder for at least a decade. 0 -
It is one of, if not the most, my favorite Benchmade knives.
Thats why I dont want to sell my 806-1101. I love that uncoated knife with its M390 blade. mmmmm

Well stated indeed Archer,0 -
I talked to Benchmade the other day about bringing back the 805 or 806 with the standard black scales and M390 blade. We would have to find a dealer that would be willing to do it. They said the minimum number they would have to order would be about 150.
I don't think that would be a problem.0 -

Ummm .....who was it that you spoke to ?
We,ve heard different stories on that.0 -
I,d like to see a Framelock 800 series 0 -
I don't remember the name. It was a girl in the customer service department 0 -
Just look under highest Karma at all the names that have 10,000 Karma points. Maybe it's one of those.quote:Originally posted by mashguy:

I was gonna call Blade HQ since they are close to me and see if they would be willing to do it.
They would sell all of them with no problem0 -
I hate to rain on the parade...... But....
KW has tried about every year after the BM/KW M390 805 and 806 and believe those are off the table.
If it were only that easy..... The new min is way over 150.
I believe KW would do the min run of 1000 if it were possible.
But I have been wrong before.... And hope I am wrong this time!
Please sign me up for 3 or 4 of the 150 run!
Thanks!0 -

That's weird. I don't understand why benchmade would be against knifeworks doing another 805/806 run.
He sells all he gets

No slab handles for me...don't care what the steel. 'Course I already have a 806-1101, so maybe I should but out... 0 -

Not to mention that if the run was only 150, these knives would cost about $400 apiece.0 -

You just shattered my dreams. LoL. Oh well I guess I will just try to find one of the limited edition 806/805's and buy black scales separately.0 -

Yeah, if I have 806-1101 I don't want to sell it either.No doubt 806 with M390 is superb combination.

It is a perfect knife thats for sure. I would only sell mine if I absolutly had to. And even then I would want far more then its worth.0 -
My 806-1101 is so buttery smooth, I can almost will the blade to open, yet there's no blade-play, whatsoever. Amazing.
I rarely carry it much, because I might actually need to use it. I carry my "user" instead - my thumb-holed 805-1101. In fact, I think it's time for this thread to have some pics!0 -
Sorry double post. 0 -
I will buy at least two of any new release of the 806 (as long as it's below $250 a unit).
If someone makes a Limited Edition Axis-lock Mini-AFCK, I would also buy at least two. I might take out a loan and buy several more.0 -

Yes ......or framelock version0 -
I will buy any non-gold class AFCK made, and maybe two. 0 -
